Intervention

A graphical code (icons or colors) for typical terms in interventions is required so it will be easier to understand what was actually done with which organism/strain and at what age just at a glance. A template for the interventions shall be made with some sets of icons to be used. Icon for model animals (there are not so many commonly studied organisms, so it is affordable to have icons for most of them), kind of ruler for lifespan with parts marked in different color (time of intervention, lifespan of control and so on).

There shall also by icons for intervention types life gene knockout, diet and so on.

Basically we need representative images and SVG icons for all the key terms.

To accomplish this a sample shall be created and contests for designers announced for the best icons ad layouts.
